Github reStructuredText parser got less strict so it now does display parts it cannot fully render
Posted by jpluimers on 2017/05/25
As the pull request had been in the pipeline for almost 2 years, I missed it went through:
- pull request [Archive.is] Display unknown restructuredText directives by pmaupin · Pull Request #516 · github/markup
- issues fixed
Before that, Github would not render parts of reStructuredText files at all it could not fully render them. Now it renders them as raw reStructuredText so at least you can see the content.
Examples:
- [Archive.is] https://github.com/berkerpeksag/astor/blob/master/docs/index.rst where for instance you will see the plain
.. function:: code_to_ast(codeobj)
- Compare the different rendering of these two engines on the same file:
